2 Chronicles 16:9a

My friend, Peggy, painted this picture several years ago. A favorite!

2 Chronicles 16:9a
“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those
whose hearts are fully committed to him.”

This verse makes you want to shout out with a giant thank you to our great God. This verse says God is continually looking at His children so He can strengthen them at all times. This verse overwhelms you with peace knowing God is always watching and working to help you.

King Asa was visited by the prophet, Hanani, with these words. Unfortunately, King Asa didn’t accept Hanani’s words. In time, his kingdom fell.

We know God’s Word is always true. What is said about God, He will do, and we can trust Him to be faithful. God’s Word has been proven true through the ages.

Biblehub.com, Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible: “The eyes of His omniscience are everywhere, and the eyes of His mercy and goodness, of His care and providence, are here and there, and in every place throughout the whole world at once, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards Him.”

This is a promise of divine assistance at all times to His children. We know that anytime we are in need of support, God already knows and will work on our behalf.

Godsbless.ing: “It highlights the omnipresence and omnipotence of God, emphasizing that His eyes are not limited by time or space but span across the entire earth. This imagery symbolizes God’s continuous watchfulness and attention towards His creation, showing that nothing escapes His notice. Furthermore, the verse underscores the importance of having a sincere and wholehearted commitment to God. It teaches us that God is always ready to strengthen and support those who remain steadfast in their faith and loyalty to Him.”

Charles Spurgeon: “Perhaps nothing describes our Lord with more grace than when He is shown as humbly stooping from His throne, descending from heaven to attend to the needs and woes of mankind . . . Even your sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah, your whisper can incline His ear toward you, your prayer can stop His hand, and your faith can move His arm.”

God is always caring for us. Even if we can’t see the answer in the middle of the battle, His Hands are in motion and working to help us. We can be confident as we wait to see what God is going to do.

By His Grace . . .
